As a child I remember singing the primary song "I am a child of God." From my earliest years I've enjoyed this reassurance that I am truly the child of a Heavenly Father. This knowledge has shaped my life. Each of us is a literal son or daughter of God and like all fathers, our Father in Heaven loves each of us individually. One of my favorite scriptures of all time is Romans 8:38-39. It reads:
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
This scripture beautifully describes the expanse of our Father's love for us. No matter what happens in our lives, we can always have the assurance that our Father in Heaven loves us. I stand all amazed to know that I am a child of God and that He loves me.
